“Fast & Furious Six” debuts new poster and Super Bowl TV spot

The newest “Fast and the Furious” movie, “Fast & Furious 6,” is going to feature more cars, more ladies and way more of The Rock. A special testosterone-filled TV spot and official poster were released for the film just in time for the Super Bowl, and they show exactly what we expect (and hope) from an installment in this franchise.

The minute-long TV spot debuted during football’s big day, and star Vin Diesel revealed the poster — which can be viewed in full below — on his Facebook page. Both tout the tagline, “All roads lead to this,” but our guess is those same roads will lead to future sequels as well.

Featured in the trailer are many recurring “Fast” faces including Diesel, Paul Walker, Jordana Brewster, Ludacris, Dwayne Johnson, Tyrese Gibson, and the big reveal, Michelle Rodriguez. Luke Evans and Gina Carano mark new additions to the cast, and “Fast & Furious 6” looks to feature the biggest ensemble of the series.

Director Justin Lin reprises his role at the helm of the franchise after also directing “The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift,” “Fast & Furious” and “Fast Five.” The movie picks up after the events of “Fast Five,” and it looks to be just as fun as its predecessor. For a great take on why the “Fast and the Furious” movies are still relevant, check out Pulitzer Prize winner Wesley Morris’ 2011 article on the franchise, “Fast Forward.”

“Fast & Furious 6” is due out on May 24. Here’s it’s official synopsis:

Since Dom (Diesel) and Brian’s (Walker) Rio heist toppled a kingpin’s empire and left their crew with $100 million, our heroes have scattered across the globe. But their inability to return home and living forever on the lam have left their lives incomplete. Meanwhile, Hobbs (Johnson) has been tracking an organization of lethally skilled mercenary drivers across 12 countries, whose mastermind (Evans) is aided by a ruthless second-in-command revealed to be the love Dom thought was dead, Letty (Rodriguez). The only way to stop the criminal outfit is to outmatch them at street level, so Hobbs asks Dom to assemble his elite team in London. Payment? Full pardons for all of them so they can return home and make their families whole again.

The Best Of The Last

The end is near. In mere days Portlandia wraps up its final season, and oh what a season it’s been. Lucky for you, you can watch the entire season right now right here and on the IFC app, including this free episode courtesy of Subaru.

But now, let’s take a moment to look back at some of the new classics Fred and Carrie have so thoughtfully bestowed upon us. (We’ll be looking back through tear-blurred eyes, but you do you.)

Couples Dinner

It’s not that being single sucks, it’s that you suck if you’re single.

Cancel it!

A sketch for anyone who has cancelled more appointments than they’ve kept. Which is everyone.

Forgotten America

This one’s a “Serial” killer…everything both right and wrong about true crime podcasts.

Wedding Planners

The only bad wedding is a boring wedding.

Disaster Hut

It’s only the end of the world if your doomsday kit doesn’t include rosé.

Your Portlandia Personality Test

Carrie and Fred understand that although we have so much in common, we’re each so beautifully unique and different. To help us navigate those differences, Portlandia has found an easy and honest way to embrace our special selves in the form of a progressive new traffic system: a specific lane for every kind of driver. It’s all in honor of the show’s 8th and final season, and it’s all presented by Subaru.

Ready to find out who you really are? Match your personality to a lane and hop on the expressway to self-understanding.

Lane 10: Trucks Piled With Junk

Your junk is falling out of your trunk. Shake a tail light, people — this lane is for you.

Lane 33: Twins

You’re like a Gemini, but waaaay more pedestrian. Maybe you and a friend just wear the same outfits a lot. Who cares, it’s just twinning enough to make you feel special.

Lane 27: Broken Windows

Bad luck follows you around and everyone knows it. Your proverbial seat is always damp from proverbial rain. Is this the universe telling you to swallow your pride? Yes.

Lane 69: Filthy Cars

You’re all about convenience. Getting your car washed while you drive is a no-brainer.

Lane 43: Newly Divorced Singles

It’s been a while since you’ve driven alone, and you don’t know the rules of the road anymore. What’s too fast? What’s too slow? Are you sending the right signals? Don’t worry, the breakdown lane is nearby if you need it.

Still can’t find a lane to match your personality? Check out all the videos here. And see the final season of Portlandia this spring on IFC.
